About
“X” is for the many projects we undertake – be it teaching and learning new skills, going on an expedition, empowering others to help the disadvantaged, protecting the environment etc etc. A one-of-a-kind hybrid that does not exist anywhere in the world. It is a collection of the best and brightest in Asia, learning, sharing and empowering each other to do amazing things to better the local community, environment and ourselves.
We are a legal society registered under the Societies Ordinance in Hong Kong. Formed by a very diverse group of people who have organized events together for a number of years. Our goals:
- To promote interest in edgier and more extreme sports
- To undertake worthy projects & activities that will impart knowledge and skills
- To take people out of their comfort zones, empower them to do things they never thought they could, and through this to change mind-sets, attitudes, lives.
- Through awareness and education, to empower people to get involved and tackle issues larger than themselves
- To reach out to all sectors of the community and give access to sports; in particular to those with special needs, who are disadvantaged or are disabled
- To help people in need of a lifestyle change, a healthy alternative revolving around empowering sports, worthy endeavors and a loyal support group
- To do all such other lawful things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objectives.
